Make Design Learning Visible

---

Description

This guidebook describes the five strategies of formative assessment in the context of design thinking and helps you use the practical tools for formative assessment described in the toolbook. 

The design processes can be a strong approach to developing their knowledge and skill set for the 21st century. The Your Turn To Make Your Mark in Design approach and tools created by the Delft University of Technology are based on research and originate from cases in schools, focusing on learning outcomes for kids and design outcomes for clients. 

Teachers have an important role in facilitating these design processes, and in the materials, you will find strategies to support and scaffold the learning process.
